I suggest you ...

Silverlight 6

Please do work on Silverlight next version. I feel Silverlight is great tool which has best in cross development web experience. Although you guys are spending time on HTML5 and other stuffs, but I feel it takes years to bring HTML 5 is not flexible enough like Silverlight.

One more thing, as a Silverlight developer it was only my chance to replace flash from my projects, but as you guys stopped working on it; I feel that I wasted my time in learning Silverlight.

Do start working on Silverlight, Only this will get you back in increasing footprints in website business

As was stated in this blog post, the need for browser extensions including ActiveX controls and Browser Hosted Objects has been significantly reduced by the advances of HTML5-era capabilities which also produce interoperable code across browsers. On the web, plugin-based architectures, such as Silverlight, are moving towards modern open standards, such as HTML5, CSS and JavaScript which are supported on a wide variety of browsers and platforms.

I am confident we will see C# and XAML in the web browser soon because Apple, Google, Microsoft and the Mozilla foundation have agreed on the WebAssembly specification for the in browser low level virtual machine.

One can now use C/C++ to create rich internet applications (see the Unity 3D tanks demo).

Guys (and girls) Never go with a Microsoft technology again. Even .Core. MS does not even use .NET for there own apps for IOS and Android. I'm going back to Delphi with there cross platform FMX. They are still backwards compatible all the way back to W95.

As of date I feel there is more reason to revive Silverlight maybe with new name, iron out its shortcomings and come with bang. Strong reason as follows. In Xamarin, in addition to targeting Windows, Droid, & iOS, another target of Browser will be a honeypot. Moving into Dockers & Containers, Non-Microsoft OS, etc. it makes good sense. Think again Microsoft. We are now in 2017.

Maybe as developers you think that silverlight is good , and maybe it is good if used by good developers. But as a user , using program which runs on silverlight , i can say you , it is the biggest garbage i have ever had to work with.

I see the centennial bridge uses an installer analyzer and then make docker container to isolate one's app. It could support both constrained Silverlight OOB and full trust OOB SL apps too (access in the isolated container that is only)

I've read they would work to support ClickOnce installers, so they should look into Silverlight's OOB installer

They could have Silverlight preinstalled in Windows 10 to avoid dockerizing the SL installer too. If people need specific SL version they could have option to dockerize its installer too

from the fundamentals, will never use HTML5 or JS. I have a big project I need errors caught at compile time not runtime.. need types. Seems WebGL is making an incredible advance with million particles on shaders, while I rarely see HTML5. ( and it doesn't work on my lumia when I do) They can never be secure, an infinite loop on a shader will hang the system, and sometimes causing data loss, reboot. worse than SL.

Ultimately you want apps in the MSFT Store? if I survive this, I will use c++ , maybe start supporting other platforms, This myth: C++ is the only valuable software?? Every Unity game is written in C#, or customized as such. my system is similar. graphics on SL , and shaders, the rest is managed for rapid get the game out before its not fresh.

No. I never want to go back, and c# and WPF, the perfect choices for multiple form factors, in mobile. i have lost all my staff when COM is expected of them. And, because I trusted you. they were betrayed, they left me. I had to suck it up, as the owners of 14 man years of code. That big red NO.. is disrespect to the developers that put you were you are falling from. Don't you want ot be liked? don't you want to make customers happy? don't you want to succeed? the windwos app store is still, full of junk. windows 7 is still have the user base so yea I need to make an app from my Silverlight and install it. its still a small install, works on macosx,and is ok.. But the shaders support.....that's the thing. we need that ..I don't know anything more... it might be an easy fix as well. Trying not to rant, but you may have have killed me as a business owner by dropping SL.. and just losing my trust. I want shader level 3. and shader edit debug for c#. for now. 2021? really? small print lets you back out when the last browser drops it, I read.

we just need little fixes like supporting shader model 3 shaders, HLSL building ( as withany c# application) , not the shader model 2 which is nearly impossible to use due to its tiny limit on instructions and other isseus.

this will keep us on XAML and C# and soon be putting quality in the app store.

The guy presenting the Centennial Bridge at Build didn’t seem to know what a Silverlight OOB (Out of Browser) app is when asked if Centennial supports them

They could have even provided a way to wrap as UWP an existing precompiled XAP that is OOB-enabled without having its source code

Btw if they had Silverlight runtime install as Windows10 component, or if Centennial bridge can wrap SL installer’s system changes in Docker container, one can make their own Centennial app containing a WPF project that hosts a WebBrowser control using IE engine to host Silverlight content from the web (like a hosted web app does with the Edge engine).

Could maybe even ship the XAP in the app like Hybrid Mobile Web Apps do and remotely update that XAP (either via custom code or via classic OOB update code)

Could you guys add your vote here to this Telerik request? Maybe Telerik listen to us better than MS and could implement KendoUI for XAML similar to what cshtml5.com is doing but from a known vendor for most C# community and nice Kendo controls.
